Lungi Ngidi is into the attack

 

Ball 1 Six!! Brilliant from Pandya as he picks the ball on the length and dispatches it for a six over deep mid-wicket 

 

Ball 2 Wicket!! If that has been taken cleanly, it would be one of the best catches by Tabraiz Shamsi and as the replays show, it has been taken cleanly and that would be the end of Pandy ad also the end of this entertaining partnership between him and Karthik. India are now 146-5 in the 19th over 

 

Ball 3 Four!! Room outside off and Karthik wouldn’t miss out on it as he cuts it away for a four past a running third-man 

 

Ball 4 Singla is taken and with that Karthik equals his highest individual score in T20I cricket of 48 runs 

 

Ball 5 On the pads and Axar is able to get a single and bringKarthik back on strike for the last ball of the over 

 

Ball 6 Karthik wanted to be cheeky there to get a single anyhow, but he could not connect although the single was completed as Axar ran anyways and Karthik also completed the runs by the time de Kock’s throw rach the other end. 

 

India Live Score 153-5 after 19 overs
